- So what, Stephen King put out 97 books in 9 months during the 80s using nothing but his incredible work ethic and cocaineSci-fi author says he wrote 97 books in 9 months using AI tools, including ChatGPT and Midjourney | @BusinessInsider pwne.ws/426V1AA
- normally I'd say "fanfic writers should write exactly how they want to" but in this case I am telling you all what to do, and that's to stop having your characters speak like they're on twitter desperately trying not to be asked why they hate waffles

- Replying to @heartsalty"Men aren't actually that emotional, all the ones I know aren't that way" "siblings don't actually act that way, my siblings & I would never" ok cool, good thing they're writing a little story from their imagination based on someone else's made up story & not your biography
- Apparently this is an unpopular opinion amongst fandom "leftists", but I actually think your employer shouldn't have a say in what harmless stuff you do in your spare time and they shouldn't get to punish you for anything even tangentially related to your sex life.
- Gen z will literally post the most vile misogynist, homophobic shit using religious iconography all to shame adults for enjoying adult material, but somehow they're not regressive conservatives because they're nonbinary or w/e
